Chemineer™ XE-3 High Efficiency Impeller

The XE-3 impeller is designed to provide high
flow and low shear with an optimized shape to
maximize mechanical strength. Designed using
high tech Laser Doppler Anemometry, Digital
Particle Image Velocimetry, and Computational
Fluid Mixing, the XE-3 impeller is always the right
choice for flow controlled processes.

The XE-3 high efficiency impeller
offers significant performance
advantages and cost savings.
Process Efficiency
• High axial flow for improved
blending and solids
suspension applications
• Possible reduction in the
horsepower and size of the gear
drive required to achieve the
desired mixing result

Mechanical Design
• Decreases impeller weight by
nearly 40% over other high
efficiency impellers
• Longer in-tank shafts can be
used without the need for
steady bearings

Installed XE-3 impeller at a wastewater treatment facility

Typical Flow Controlled
Applications
• Storage Tanks
• Water and Waste Treatment
• Miscible Fluid Blending
• Chemical and Polymers
• Mining Applications
• Heat Transfer Applications with
internal coils or jacketed vessels
• Solids Suspension Applications
• Mud Mixers
• Corn Processing and Ethanol

Upgrade Opportunity
• The impeller weight is similar
or less than older, less efficient
impeller designs
• The superior performance of
the XE-3 high efficiency impeller
can almost double a pitched
blade impeller pumping rate at
an equivalent torque level
•tCan retrofit to Chemineer or
competitors’ older impeller
designs
